All of the Scalia Law Sites are now switched to HTTPS. Mad props to my new developer. After many trials and errors, he finally figured it out. This has been on my to-do list for a while, but I couldn’t to it because I have other requests and projects. I am glad to have someone to just focus on getting this done. Now all of our sites, including the main one, are moved to HTTPS. An added level of security is an added layer peace of mind. I still have so much to learn about running and maintaining servers, but having great people to work with is awesome.

Schumer’s strongest moment on The Leather Special is the brief departure to gun control. Unfortunately, that topic only lasted about a minute. The rest of the hour is just dirty sex talk. I am usually don’t mind raunchy jokes, but the in-your-face materials didn’t do it for me.

Ms. Ryan claims that she doesn’t hate all the Jews. She just hates one Jew, but that was how it all started. In her latest Netflix special, Ms. Ryan is frank, funny, and foul as fuck. From coyote to Cosby, she provokes both animal activists and rape victims, but that’s how comedy works. Just laugh and enjoy the show even if the material offends you.

In a brilliantly-written, calmly-delivered, and hilarious-yet-serious standup special, Mike Birbiglia caresses the jokes, makes loves to the jokes, and married to the jokes. He proves why jokes matter and why we should embrace them. I can live with that.

My part-time backend web developer started this week. He’s knowledgeable and down-to-earth. He has been helping me out with smaller tasks like making online forms and some server administrations. His main project is moving all our WordPress Multisite to HTTPS. With his help, I can focus on design and front-end development; therefore, I am glad to have him joining us.

Host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah returned to standup to remind us the power of the pussy. Yes, we all came from the pussy and it is still working as intended. Sure, it is funny but predictable. Noah’s most imaginative moment is his impersonation of Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama in a conversation, in which he tied back to Obama’s tag line: “Yes We Can.” It’s an enjoyable watch.

My wife bought Việt Thanh Nguyễn’s The Sympathizer last year to support a fellow Vietnamese-American writer, but she hasn’t read it yet. I am not a fan of fiction, but slowing warming up to it this week. Nguyễn’s mastery of the English language is impressive. For example: “The captain, who hobbled a bit because of venereal disease, threatened to commit suicide unless I found more seats. I offered him my revolver and he skulked off.” I am now on chapter four and planning on finishing it.

Thứ Hai vừa qua, tôi đến đón Đạo và Đán sau giờ học bơi. Tiện chỗ tắm luôn cho hai đứa. Sau đó hai đứa muốn ăn sushi. Đán phàn, “Con không có ăn trưa ở trường vì họ cho con cơm thối trộn với đậu.” Nghe thảm quá nên tôi gọi mẹ nó bảo ra chợ Đại Hàn ăn tối. Mẹ nó không muốn đi nên ở nhà với thằng Xuân.

Đến chợ Đại Hàn thì họ không có làm eel sushi ngày trong tuần thế thì ba cha con đi ăn nhà hàng Nhật. Phần appetizer, tôi gọi một đĩa mực chiên, một tô đậu hũ chiên, và một phần đậu hấp. Gọi một tô mì udon chia làm ba. Một lọ saké nóng cho tôi và 12 cái eel sushi cho hai đứa nhỏ. Hai đứa ăn không đủ nên tôi gọi thêm 6 cái nữa.

Sau khi ăn no nê Đán nói, “You are a fantastic dad.” Lần đầu tiên được thằng con khen tôi tất vui tuy cái bill 95 đô và 20 đô tiền tip. Thấy hai thằng con ăn ngon miệng cũng đáng.

On the front-end, nothing has changed to the Law School website, but the backend is completely upgraded. We migrated the entire site to a brand new dedicated server, upgraded to the latest version of MODX Revolution, and switched to HTTPS. Anthony Harvey is the mad genius who has made all of these happened. He is such an amazing developer. If it was not for him, we would still be stuck in the good ole MODX Evolution. He responded to tons of my questions with patience. I am so grateful for his work.

I don’t care if he likes to eat his steak well-done with ketchup. In fact, I don’t give a fuck if he likes to eat shit and get peed on. I am not worried that he eats like a five-year-old, but I am deeply terrified that a five-year-old is running our country.
